Things have been going well for me. It's been a month since my surgery and I'm down 25 pounds. I was lucky--no throwing up, no heartburn (so far). My main challenge has been tiring out quickly but that's a small price to pay. I hope everyone else is doing well, too!

Tiring out quickly! yes! OMG. I have a long work commute that use to leave me tired pre-op but I feel like it's worse even know after a full day of work, the long drive home. I barely have enough energy to make it to bed. I keep telling myself its because I'm getting back in the groove of things at work for the first time this week. So hopefully next week feels better. Congrats on the 25 Lbs that's great!

Hello Feb sleevers!! I'm down but I don't know how much. My clothes are very lose, but I didn't want to get caught up on the scale and the stalls and drive myself insane. All is well here...thank you Jesus. No nausea or vomiting I think some Constipation. I said I think because my new normal is not everyday and I'm not use to that. Thankful for this journey with my sleevers. I start fish TUESDAY!!!!!!! Yaayyyyy!!!!! I can't hardly wait. Pray all is well with the other Feb sleevers. Feb 20thsleever

Hi fellow February sleevers! I'm 6weeks out and feeling great! I weighed in this morning at 200 even, down 33 pounds since surgery!

Eating is going ok, can keep foods down, but still need to focus on slowing down. Doing a ton of walking, about 10,000-15,000 steps per day, doing daily Fitbit challenges with other Bari patients I met here.

Looking forward to being cleared to resume regular exercising around the 28th.

Sleeved on 2/21/17, so I'm about 24 days post-op... Only down 20 lbs from surgery date weight... Kind of discouraging... Starting walking tomorrow, only thing I'm cleared for until 5 weeks out...

Don't be discouraged about those numbers, 20 pounds in 24 days is very good! But if you haven't been walking already, definitely get into it! It helps with gas, pain, and your metabolism. :)

Sleeved 2/22. Sigh, 8 days at pretty much the same weight (darn week 3 stall). So I'm only down 15.4 since surgery (plus 17 before). Tomorrow has to be the day it moves again, right?

I was sleeved 2/09/2017. I am down 28lbs. I feel really good and tire quickly. My clothes are really loose now. I am going to the gym and walking more.






You're doing fine. I'm a paranoid over thinker and I've been all over different support sites to see how people have done. One thing for sure if everyone has a stall and for some it takes a bit more to get through them. You will wake up soon and see your losing again. Just stick to your eating guidelines and make sure your doing your exercise and/or walking and you'll be successful. Don't get discouraged.

I was sleeved 2/15/17, I'm down a total of about 50lbs since the start of the pre op diet and 36 since surgery. No problems really to speak of. I really do need to be more diligent on my walking regimen though.

Justin, (or anyone else) do you use a Fitbit? If so, friend me at vban@charter.net to join our group. Several sleevers all doing daily, weekly and weekend walking challenges. Great way to keep each other motivated and moving.

The stall is normal, I had a stall that lasted about the same time, finally started moving again on Friday. My nut had me increase my intake as I was not getting enough macros in as I increased my activity. If you are logging your meals and macros, have them check to make sure your, you may need to adjust them intake.

Myfitnesspal is a great app that can track. Make sure to set your goal %'s if you use the app. It will really help keep you in the right zones.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
